It's probably good to know she hasn't died; you never know in those group homes. Once my boyfriend worked at a group home and there was this ret*d guy who had a disease and was dying. They said he would probably die on my boyfriend's shift, and he did. I really hope they gave him painkillers. I sometimes wonder about my boyfriend's morality. He says all people are his people, but then he contradicts himself with his actions. He did some immoral things as a psych tech a few times, like forcing a boy (a patient) to talk on the phone to his grandmother and say nothing but nice things, just because the other staff told him he had to because the boy's grandmother had told them to make him... but aren't they supposed to be there to help the boy, not his grandmother? Maybe I misunderstand the situation. Maybe they would have let him not talk to her if he couldn't say nice things. And maybe my boyfriend had to do that for his own survival, to keep his job. Also, my boyfriend said that when they locked someone in a seclusion room, the more they protested the longer they were kept in there. Perhaps, I suspect, without meds to make them feel better, or anyone to talk to. But he did say that they would let someone run around (give them a place to do it) if the person needed to. Anyway, I'm off on a tangent again. My point was simply that you never know with those people.
Um.... I'm pretty sure that is not this situation.
